Dictionary Day Photography Contest Winners

by Angela Tung on October 17, 2011

Happy belated Dictionary Day! A couple of weeks ago, we launched a contest asking you to show us how you’re putting your print dictionary to non-dictionary use, now that you’re using Wordnik as your main word source.

The entries are in, and we’ve picked our favorites and the winner! Check out the photos after the jump.

We loved Susan Gilpin’s dictionary diaroma:

Susan writes: “I use the side of my OED as one of the walls of a little diorama I have on my bookshelf. On the ‘wall’ is a print of a James Broughton poem.”

And Brian Hartmann’s sweetheart:

From Brian: “Old dictionaries are great for creating Valentines!” Say it with me: awwww!
